“…In this regard, different studies developed internationally have highlighted some key factors for the development of media education such as the need to link theory to practice (Jeong, 2009), reduce the gap between what students take to the classroom and what teachers do methodologically with technologies (Kerawalla & Crook, 2002;Ekanayake & Wishart, 2014) or the importance of adequately combining analysis and media production (Kirk & Pitches, 2013;Starkey, 2011).…”

This article presents the results of research aimed at finding out how training in media education is being developing in Spanish Universities. From a methodological perspective, this work is part of what can be considered a mixed research paradigm. In the first phase, the content of 179 study guides from 83 Spanish universities was analysed using a thematic coding system to analyse the data. In the second phase, 13 in-depth interviews were conducted with university teachers in charge of teaching subjects related to media education in order to understand how they were developing these experiences (methodologies used, systems of assessment, etc.). The results show that the presence of dimensions of media education in curricula is unequal and that teachers are using a wide range of teaching methods and evaluation tools. This study suggests that the education authorities and university teachers should rethink training for future teachers and include contents that facilitate understanding the functioning of the media as a way of accessing diverse cultural representations.

A pesar de las grandes contribuciones de la KPF, se ha criticado que este trabajo sea una simple oportunidad para crear empleos para ex-periodistas, etiquetándola co mo una organización que trabaja exclusivamente por los beneficios de periodistas retirados durante la crisis económica asiática (Jeong, 2008).…”

“…Han impartido conferencias y talleres de alfabetización mediática, como formación con tinua para otros educadores. A pesar de sus diferencias regionales, y enfoques en cuanto a la alfabetización mediática, estos grupos de educadores parecen ser un ejemplo efectivo y exitoso de comunidades de práctica de educadores de alfabetización mediática dentro de los contextos escolares (Jeong, 2008). Políticos de diferentes organizaciones gubernamentales y asociaciones civiles podrían apoyar estas comunidades de prácticas de maestros o trabajar junto con ellos, para impulsar rápidamente la alfabetización me diática, ya que ellos pueden generar cambios en es cuelas, así como desarrollar materiales para el aprendizaje.…”

The authors begin by providing the historical and social background of Korean media education, which has its roots in civil participation activities in the 1980s. Then, they discuss the legal and governmental policies on media education, focusing on the Broadcasting Act and the diverse programs provided by governmental organizations, particularly those under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. They also provide good examples of media education practices by groups of teachers, civil society associations and the media industry, in addition to introducing the recent changes in the newly reformed National Curriculum, which includes some elements of media literacy. They conclude by pointing out the need for a more consistent policy on media literacy and a forum to activate discussion on the topic. Los autores parten de los antecedentes históricos y sociales de la educación en medios coreana, la cual tiene sus raíces en actividades de participación civil en los ochenta. Luego, discuten las políticas legales y gubernamentales en educación en medios, fijando su atención en el Acta de Difusión y los diversos programas elaborados por organizaciones gubernamentales, particularmente aquéllas bajo el Ministerio de Cultura. También brindan buenos ejemplos de prácticas de educación en medios por grupos de educadores, asociaciones de la sociedad civil y la industria mediática, además de presentar los últimos cambios en el recién reformado Plan de Estudios Nacional, el cual incluye algunos elementos de alfabetización mediática. Concluyen señalando la necesidad de una política más consistente en alfabetización mediática y un foro para activar la discusión sobre el tema.

The widespread development of media literacy education in South Korea demonstrates the collaborative efforts of diverse groups that range from nonprofit organizations, government‐run agencies, school‐based educators, media producers, religious leaders, activists, and scholars to the general public. Such proliferation of media literacy projects also demonstrates the ways in which a variety of government agencies—through working with scholars in a timely manner—can support media literacy via school curricula and other resources.
